Marriage is not for everyone.
I never wanted to get married. I came from a single parent home and grew up just fine without any issues or disadvantages. I initially never wanted to have any children either.
I went through a minor period years ago of desiring to have a daughter or two- still without wanting to tie the knot.
Yes, it went against what God would have preferred but I did not want the ongoing sexual relationship that comes with being wedded.
Aside from not desiring sex, I had no desire for a husband, and I had no need for an emotional attachment.
I was never the type for any romantic commitment or sexual attraction.
I am and have always been Asexual.
I do not criticize anyone who has sex before marriage. What one does in their own bedroom is their own business.
Yet, as one led by the holy spirit, I will not promote anyone to do so, and as an honest individual, I do not have anything against those who partake.
Some people take on that holier-than-thou persona which is a turn off to me, especially when they are hypocritical in so many other areas.
I myself just happen to think of sex itself as nasty- I always felt that way. It has nothing to do with morals or religion just my own feelings and preference.
